cement to glue inner sponge?
What is a good cement to glue inner sponge ? I have tried CA glue,and it certainly didn't work at all . I am wondering which contact cement works the best for inner sponge.

I have increased my droop to having only 3mm inside the shock. I was running 6-7mm, but after changing over to 3mm I think the car handled better. It increased my ride height but when I pick up the car, the tires really don't drop down too much, so I think I have found that happy medium for my car.

Actually I don't glue my foam inserts at all, I tape them. A strip of electrical tape on the inside and the outside radius keeps them in place just fine and doesnt leave a hard spot like most glue. I do this for the Tamiya foam strips as well as sedan inserts (that are cut down to size).
I race my mini (MO3-R) on carpet and I'm running about 3MM of droop in front and about 5MM in the back. When I was running the car in short mode I ran less drop in back. The car would lift its inside rear wheel in the turns but it never rolled. Which not only looked cool/realistic but was also the fastest way around the sweepers at my local track.

Thank you very much for the inner sponge tips. I will get some electric tape and see how it works.

I have just picked up a FF02 kit from a closing down sale and found that it is a MO3-XL (extra long), it looks like the only difference is longer suspension arms and dog bones. I was thinking of making it as an MO3 (short) with longer suspension arms to see how it will handle.
